It is supposed to allow you to speak more eloquently

http://www.sacredsites.com/europe/ireland/blarney_stone.html
"Five miles north west of the small city of Cork is the village of Blarney. Near the village, standing almost 90 feet in height is the castle of Blarney with its world-famous Blarney Stone. More than 300,000 people come to kiss the Blarney Stone each year, in the hopes of gaining more eloquent speech."

According to legend, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the gift of gab (great eloquence or skill at flattery).
